How healthy is the Huron? The Huron is the “cleanest urban river in Michigan,” However... The Huron is the “cleanest urban river in Michigan,” However...

Areas of the Huron not meeting water quality standards In Michigan, 400 lakes & rivers in violation

MDEQ study in ‘98-’99:   34  g Phosphorus/L  100% from Non-Point Source Pollution   Load: 973 lbs/yr Phosphorus “Threatened” due to Phosphorus inputs from land use changes Brighton Lake Water Quality

Why is excess phosphorous bad? Lake productivity in this region is naturally limited by phosphorus Excess phosphorus acts as a fertilizer, leading to: –Excess algal and plant growth –Low dissolved oxygen levels –Decreased clarity –Water taste and odor problems
